Force-Focused Design: High-Stakes Branding for Star Wars

Collaborating with Lucasfilm to bring the Star Wars universe to the Mimoco platform was an exercise in balancing fan reverence with commercial innovation. Working directly with their licensing team, I oversaw the creative product cycle, ensuring every design honored the legacy of a galaxy far, far away.

This partnership went far beyond character design — it was a comprehensive brand exercise that touched every consumer touchpoint:

  • IP Integration: Translating legendary characters into the unique MIMOBOT form factor while adhering to strict Lucasfilm style guides.
  • 360-Degree Marketing: Executing cross-promotional branding, from high-impact email marketing to digital campaigns.
  • Retail & Exhibition: Designing everything from the window-box packaging and Point of Purchase (POP) displays to large-scale tradeshow and exhibition environments.
  • Product R&D: Refining the physical product design to ensure the tech felt as premium as the artwork.

This role was a masterclass in IP Stewardship, requiring a deep understanding of how to maintain brand integrity across vastly different scales — from a 2-inch flash drive to a 20-foot exhibition booth.
